Transcript of tonight's Republican debate.
MODERATOR: Hi. Here we are again. Let's get right to it and start with Speaker Gingrich. Sir, please don't get mad tonight.
GINGRICH: No.
ROMNEY: Freddie Mac! Resigned in disgrace! I'll release my 2012 taxes after I'm President! (Smarmy laugh.)
PAUL: Why am I here?
SANTORUM: I still hate gay people. And I'm still a huge dick. Look at my sweater vest! Obama's a Muslim!
MODERATOR: Does anyone here have anything of substance to offer?
GINGRICH: I hear Santorum is some sort of substance.
(All laugh. Except Santorum, whose wife runs onto the stage.)
MRS. SANTORUM: Don't pick on my husband! He just hates gay people!
MODERATOR: Security, please escort Mrs. Santorum off the stage.
ROMNEY: I pay Cayman Islands offshore taxes investments Bain Capital, uh, universal healthcare reform no, Obama must go!
PAUL: Why am I here?
SANTORUM: Still with the hating of the gay people. Sweater vests! (Takes off shirt.)
MODERATOR: Thanks all. We're going to commercial and when we come back, I'm going to ask the candidates, "Why even bother?" Stay tuned.

shitmystudentswrite:
American settlers also used guns and protected themselves and their family’s from Indian attacks, claim jumpers, and much more. If they had outlawed guns because Billy the Kid killed some people where would we be today? Still living on the west coast, ruled by England?
